I just watched DBD like a month ago and I really liked the show but I've found it very hard to interact with the Dead Boys Detective fandom as someone who is emphatically against Chedwin. To be honest I find Edwin's feelings for Charles to be very alarming. Yes you can say that Charles and Edwin are "technically the same age physically" but like that does not excuse the fact that Edwin is over TWICE Charles's age and maturity. I don't think I've found anyone else that feels this way, but yes that is my confession

.

For my own sanity I choose to believe that when Charles does things like say to Crystal “I know, I know, but…” (implying that he finds Edwin annoying) that it’s a pre-agreed upon thing

We’ve seen that they deliberately split up social roles, which in most cases means Charles is good cop and Edwin’s bad cop. That’s established from the very beginning: Charles is smooth and reassuring and likable with Emma, but when they need someone to “play hardball” (to make sure they get paid, and also because Emma is being fraudulent) Edwin takes over. It’s established later that their social division of labor is very intentional, with Edwin explicitly stating that he’s taking over for negotiation with the Cat King and talking to Shelby because those fall more under his area of social expertise.

Meanwhile, Edwin’s very aware that he’s sharp and abrasive and, well, a bit of an acquired taste for the majority of the human population. He knows most people find him annoying.

So it makes perfect sense, honestly, for part of their good cop-bad cop setup to involve Charles intentionally playing off Edwin’s abrasiveness - building rapport with people by commiserating with them over how annoying Edwin is. That’s a standard part of how good cop-bad cop dynamics work, the good cop looks better by contrast with the bad cop, is seen as a savior from them or at least a relief.

It’s 100% a lie from Charles’s side - he does not, in fact, find Edwin annoying in the slightest - but Edwin already knows that other people do and he does not mind that fact being used to their advantage, so Charles eventually agrees to go along with that strategy. We even see that, in canon, when Charles tells Emma in a conspiratorial voice that Edwin’s about to play hardball… and then proceeds to watch Edwin do so with utter heart-eyes.

(Which is all very well until Charles starts going off with Crystal and bulldozing over Edwin’s needs and anxieties in favor of Crystal and taking Crystal’s side over a significant period of time, instead of just during a moment of negotiation, and Edwin starts to wonder if this time Charles actually means it, and even if he’s meant it all along, if that’s why he hates their afterlife, because he’s always found Edwin as annoying as other people do and just been more polite about it than most - meanwhile Charles has no idea that Edwin could think he means it because WTF, of course he doesn’t.)

Happy Pride!

I drew this June last year but forgot to post it anywhere and then pride was over. You cannot believe the amount of patience it took not to post this silly little mini comic.

Some close ups:

Now that the cast and crew started to receive their copies, I can share my piece for the Anniversary Fanbook with you all! I wanted to make a poster for the show but I was running out of time and decided to reuse my Run Boy Run design as the centerpiece. From there I just tried several compositions, trying to fit as many characters as I could. I'm particularly proud of the inclusion of Despair ^^
